Don't eat my crumpets
Have you ever had one of those dreams where you're sort of awake, but you can't move? Today Ben left early to advise 1st years (why they pay lecturers with PhDs and no experience at the university outside their own department to waste an entire week advising freshmen is beyond me) and I stayed at home to sleep until a normal hour. After he left, I dreamt that Ben had left the door unlocked (he did) and I heard someone come into the house and start making themself breakfast in the kitchen (this part was not real). I was powerless to move any of my limbs and couldn't even open my eyes, although I was sure that if I did, I would see the intruder in the hallway. All the while, I was only really worried that the intruder would eat my breakfast crumpets.
